Capucine is a capuchin monkey who is a budding young filmmaker.
She enjoys spending her days editing clips, communicating orders and adjusting equipment. LOL!
She recently had one of her films Oedipe, accepted to the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival in France!!!
Capucine has worked in a laboratory for 10 years at the Research Center for Animal Language in Japan.
In her free time she likes to watch King Kong and E.T and plays Donkey Kong!
Capucine was originally being trained as a service animal for disabled individuals. She was given to a quadriplegic man to assist and he noticed that Capucine was very interested in TV and movies.
From here the program at the primate research center was developed in Japan.
Check out the clip above of Capucine at the fim festival. A few scenes of her movie are shown too.
(The video is in both French and English)
